Grandpa is not vegetarian

Put the four sets of new clothes into the box first, Mu Yunyi opened another package, and took out the contents one by one. Every time he saw something, Gao Yiqing cheered, looked at the candy, sniffed the pastry, and couldn't stop. Swallowing, Mu Yunyi patted his forehead, and stuffed a sesame candy into his mouth: "These things are in the box, you can eat them whenever you want, but it's time to eat soon." Don’t eat too much yet.” He took another piece of orange cake to Shang Yi and dried persimmons to Gao Yichun.

There are two wooden boxes in this room, which are Gao Yichun's mother's dowry. When Mu Yunyi came, they were still empty, but now they are almost full. One box contains clothes and bedding, and the copper coins brought back by Mu Yunyi Put them all in there too.The other box contains some sundries for daily use, mostly scissors, needlework, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, etc. Gao Yichun carried the two keys with him.

Gathering all the food, as well as the cloth and paper that Mu Yunyi brought back into the box, Gao Yiqing was overjoyed, and kept looking at the corner of the wall, as if things would grow wings and fly away if he didn't pay attention. It’s the same, but in fact, he is used to being poor. He has never drank a few sips of coarse sugar water, let alone such an exquisite candy snack. True, from time to time, he grinned at Mu Yunyi with his mouth missing a front tooth.

Mu Yunyi was almost warmed up. He crawled out of the bed and began to put on his clothes. Gao Yichun said worriedly: "Your chest injury, do you want to go to Fourth Uncle Zhao to get some ointment?"

Mu Yunyi thought for a while: "I only scratched the skin a little bit, but it's not serious. I'm afraid I might get an infection or leave a scar...By the way, did you buy the wine I mentioned last time?"

Gao Yichun nodded: "I've bought it a long time ago, I'm afraid I'll miss it, so I beg Xiao Lezi to take Xiao Wu with me."

Mu Yunyi wanted to see it, so Gao Yiqing took out a small wine jar from the box with a red cloth wrapped around it. Mu Yunyi took it over, pushed the mud seal away, and sniffed it: "This wine should have a high alcohol content. That's it. Xiao Wu, bring me a spoon."

Gao Yichun was a little dazed: "You want to drink? Didn't you say that this wine is for Uncle Niu?"

"It's for Uncle Niu, but now I want to use it, so I don't care about so much." He took the wooden spoon, scooped up some wine, let Shang Yi hold it, then directly dipped the wine in his hands, and put it on his chest Drizzle on the wound.

This wine is currently the most powerful Thunderbolt. Mu Yunyi knows that Boss Niu likes to drink spirits, and the ten villages and eight stores are the most famous for this kind of Thunderbolt from the Hujia Winery in the town. Many merchants in the county come here His family came to order wine, so Mu Yunyi asked Gao Yichun to find someone to bring some back from the town when Mu Yunyi left last time.

Although the wound on his chest was not deep, the skin was broken and the flesh was oozing out, and the pain could be imagined after being splashed with this strong wine. After two or three showers, he collapsed on the kang, panting heavily.

Several people didn't know what he was doing, Gao Yiqing hugged his arm with tears in his eyes, and asked in a crying voice, "Brother Yuanbao, what are you doing?"

"If you want to avoid suppurative infection, you have to pour this strong wine. I can't do it. Brother Yichun, come and help me."

Gao Yichun asked with certainty: "Is it true that if you drench this wine, it won't fester?" Mu Yunyi nodded firmly. A clean white cloth was dipped in wine and wiped by Mu Yunyi. Mu Yunyi was so tense in pain that tears were about to come out. There were dozens of deep and shallow wounds on his chest, which were spilled with wine. Afterwards, the front half of his body was in excruciating pain, but fortunately he became numb from the pain, and Fang felt a little more relaxed. When all was done, his shirt was completely soaked in sweat.

Gao Yiqing soaked a towel in hot water again to wipe Mu Yunyi's body, changed into a suit of middle clothes, and sprinkled wine on the wound. After the severe pain, he felt relaxed and refreshed. Gao Yiqing makes dumplings.

Making dumplings is definitely a technical job, especially when rolling dumpling wrappers, it has to be thick in the middle, thin at the edges, and the shape must be regular and round. The food is okay, but it seems powerless to do this, and it is not good to make dumplings, especially boiled dumplings. It will disperse, and when it goes into the pot, it will become a soup ball.

Fortunately, Mu Yunyi is self-aware, and is only responsible for holding firewood to light the fire, and taking straw paper to steam the curtain and arranging dumplings.

Gao Yichun is the number one cook in the Gao Family Courtyard. According to him, he cooks half of the meals a year, and is also responsible for pickling pickles, smoked bacon, and sauerkraut... Gao Yiqing has been with him since he was a child. The elder brother is helping behind and is also a good cook. He kneels on the chair, pinches the noodles with one hand, and presses the other on the rolling pin as thick as his wrist. With a few strokes, a dumpling wrapper is rolled out. , thick on the inside and thin on the outside, and the edges are all turned up.

Shang Yi took the skin, scooped it up with a spoon and put it in the center, no more, no less, and there were so many every time, then ten fingers rose and fell staggered, and in a blink of an eye, it was made into an ingot-shaped dumpling, just like Gao Yiqing's. Cooperating with one roll and one bag, the dumplings were soon filled with two steaming curtains. Gao Yichun said in the back room: "Yuanbao and Brother Xiaoyi came back from the city by car at noon. They must be hungry by now, you go down first." Come out with a pot, let's eat first, and make the rest after we finish eating."

Making dumplings is also a science. It seems simple, but it is actually not easy. Mu Yunyi picked up the dumplings and was about to rub them off the side of the pot, but Shang Yi hurriedly stopped him: "If you rub like this, the dumplings will be broken when they reach the pot." gone."

Shang Yi turned over the steaming curtain, poured the dumplings into the pot with crackling crackles, and then stirred it gently with a large strainer. After a while, he had to cover the pot. Is it on the bottom?"

Gao Yiqing came in with chaihe in his arms, opened his front-tooth-missing mouth and smiled: "Open the pot to cook the stuffing, cover the pot to cook the skin, my dumplings are made with thicker skins, so I have to cover the pot and cook for a while, Brother Yuanbao Don't worry, if one of the dumplings tonight is broken, I'll drink the whole pot of dumpling soup."

Gao Yichun shouted in the back room: "The two of them outside are enough, Yuan Bao don't follow along, come in and let's talk."

Mu Yunyi sighed, thinking of him as the second youngest of the Mu family, pampered by grandparents, grandparents, father, mother, brother and sister-in-law at home, and countless beauties and handsome men bowing down for him outside, he is truly tall, handsome and rich, and he is always in love with him wherever he goes. It is the focal point. He never thought that one day he would be disgusted by others, but the situation is stronger than others. He had a premonition that staying here would be a waste of help. The rough and flexible apron, together with the small bench, gave way to Gao Yiqing.

Entering the back room, Gao Yichun took out a pair of shoes: "I learned from my old aunt, the first time I made shoes, I made them according to your size, just try it, if it doesn't fit, I will improve it next time."

Mu Yunyi took the shoes. Unlike the [-]-[-] Wen shoes in the county shoe shop, the workmanship of this pair of shoes is obviously more refined. It was very neat, and he roughly counted it. There were dozens of stitches in the place where the belly of the thumb was, and the thread was tightly stretched without any slack. lining.

He wore it on his feet and walked a few steps on the ground, feeling comfortable and light: "That's great, brother Yichun, you can do this for the first time making shoes, it's really a talent."

Gao Yichun dragged him over, leaned down, held the edge of the bed with his left hand, and stuck a finger with his right hand into the shoe to try it out: "The main reason is that my aunt taught me well, and I specially made it big. A little bit, firstly, your feet are still growing, if you can wear Ding Kemao, you will not be able to wear them after a while, and secondly, you are used to wearing boots in the city, I wonder if you don’t like to wear them..."

"Who said I don't like to wear it anymore!" Mu Yunyi raised her toes, swayed from side to side, and said happily, "It's made by Brother Chun stitch by stitch, how can I not like to wear it, even if it's so hypocritical? What’s the point? I wear boots because I always run outside, that one is more comfortable, and it’s more light and casual to wear at home.”

Gao Yichun smiled and said, "It's fine if you like it, but these are flip-flops, so you can't wear them until the first lunar month."

"Then put it away first, and wear it when the time comes." He took off his shoes and got on the kang, talking to Gao Yichun, "After the first lunar month, you will be able to go to the field, so you have to make a pair for yourself."

"Mine are also ready. They are in the box. I am the best at taking care of myself. The first pair of shoes is for myself. This is your second pair. I will make another pair for Xiaowu after the Chinese New Year. .”

"After all, making shoes is secondary, and we have to focus on reading." Mu Yunyi became a little serious, "I'm thinking about taking advantage of the holidays during the year to finish explaining the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Names in one go. , I will start teaching you Thousand Characters after February, and when the work in the field is finished, I will take you into the city, go to the free school in the county to study, and leave to take the scientific examination the next year."

Gao Yiqing heard it from the outside room, ran in and asked loudly: "Brother Yuanbao, you let me and my brother take part in the scientific examination?"

"Yes!" Mu Yunyi nodded, "I don't ask you to pass the exam, just go in and see the scene." The imperial examination in this era is not only about knowledge, but also about physical fitness. You have to be locked in a small room for several days , eat, drink, and scatter all inside, plus he was worried about gains and losses, and if one couldn't bear it, he might die in it, so Mu Yunyi wanted the two brothers to participate as much as possible, so as to gradually adapt to this form.

In the Ming Dynasty, children's examinations were held twice every three years. The examinations were held in the years of Chou, Chen, Wei, and Xu, and those in the years of Yin, Si, Shen, and Hai were called scientific examinations. It was impossible for Gao Yichun and the others to participate, and Mu Yunyi wanted them to participate in the scientific examination in the year of Bingyin.
